For the Travel-Savvy Dad
For the dad who spends time in the air or on the road, Casio's EDIFICE Collection is ideal, with its classic style and incredible functionality. The newly launched EQB-510 and ECB-500 timepieces connect to a smartphone with just one push of a button through Casio's Mobile Link Technology. By downloading the CASIO WATCH+ app and connecting to a compatible smartphone via Bluetooth® SMART, these watches can access the time for over 300 cities worldwide, even correcting for Daylight Saving Time, if needed. This way when Dad is on the road, he'll know exactly what time it is at home.

The EQB-510 and ECB-500 are also water resistant up to 100 meters and are Powered by Light, featuring Casio's Tough Solar Power which eliminates the need for battery changes. After a full-charge and without further exposure to light, the EQB-510 has a battery life of approximately 34 months, while the ECB-500 has a battery life of approximately 33 months. The EQB-510 is available now at select retailers nationwide for a MSRP of $380 and the ECB-500 will be available in June for an MSRP of $300.
